I titled this piece "Imprints" for its literal meaning in maternal biology. An imprint in this context refers to the lasting traces a child leaves in a mother’s body and vice versa: fetal cells that persist long after pregnancy, chemical and hormonal exchanges that shape recognition and bonding, and the layered ways these bodies carry, remember, and affect each other. By placing two babies within the figure, the painting makes tangible the dense, corporeal record of these exchanges, the ways the maternal body flexes, expands, and enfolds life within itself.
